Chapter 468 Covered in Blood
The late emperor's birthday celebration is held at Yunling Temple every year, and this year is no exception.
At this time, there are less than three months left. It seems like a long time, but there are too many trivial matters to deal with, and there is not much time left.
"The Ministry of Rites has already sent people to start preparations. I have instructed everyone in the temple to fully cooperate with the Ministry of Rites. This is the case every year, and this year will be no exception."
Master Yuanle said, "But this year, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming, I think it will be different. It will probably be more lively then."
"Um."
He Yanxiu nodded, "There will be more people."
As he was talking, a young monk came over and said, "Master, please go over there. There are pilgrims who want to rent the meditation room in our temple for a few months. I dare not make the decision on my own, so I asked you to go and make the decision."
Yunling Temple is a national temple. It is extremely large with many meditation rooms. It is very common for pilgrims to come and stay for a while. Such matters are all taken care of by the monks in the temple. Logically speaking, there is no need to disturb Master Yuanle.
It’s just that Yuanluo’s eldest disciple is usually in charge of all affairs of the temple, big or small, and he does things very steadily. Since it is difficult for him to decide on something, it must be no small matter.
Master Yuan nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
"Amitabha, excuse me." Master Yuanle continued to maintain the steady demeanor that a host should have, and bowed to He Yanxiu and Su Yujin one by one to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Master." Su Yujin bowed.
"Although Master Yuanle is a little naughty, he is still very reassuring when he is serious." He Yanxiu said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Su Yujin tilted her head, "But just now..."
He also said that Master Yuanle's work was not trustworthy, so he came to Yunling Temple specially.
Inconsistent!
"Of course, it's because I found him eavesdropping, so I just thought of this phrase on the spur of the moment." He Yanxiu poked his head out and moved closer to Su Yujin. "After all, it's not good to say something like 'I miss you' in front of people outside."
He Yanxiu's voice was originally very magnetic, and his tone was gentle at this moment, making the four words "I miss you" even more pleasant to the ear.
Especially such naked love words, coupled with his deep and bottomless eyes...
It's really addictive.
Even though Su Yujin believed that she had a certain resistance when facing He Yanxiu, she felt unable to control herself at this moment.
"Second Master..."
Su Yujin's cheeks turned slightly red, and she stared at He Yanxiu.
His eyes were as hot as fire.
He Yanxiu's heart tightened as well, and his throat paused for a moment, "Hmm?"
"Second Master has looked much worse these past two days. He even has acne on his forehead. The weather has been very cool these past few days, but Second Master is still like this. It's obvious that Second Master has been very tired and has a strong liver fire these past two days."
As she spoke, Su Yujin had already picked up He Yanxiu's wrist and carefully felt his pulse. Then she frowned and said, "You haven't eaten or slept well in the past two days. It seems that in addition to prescribing a dose of Longgan Xiedan Decoction, I also need to prescribe you a decoction to calm your nerves and help you sleep."
He Yanxiu, "..."
It is said that blessings go hand in hand with disasters. So, does his current situation mean that honey always comes with bitter medicine?
But since it was Su Yujin who prescribed the medicine for him...
Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease! Seeing He Yanxiu's face changing from bitter to serious and even forced to smile, Su Yujin chuckled beside him. ——The next day after returning from Yunling Temple, Lu first visited He's wife, Lu, and told her what the abbot had said when he went to the temple to burn incense yesterday.
Lu nodded when he heard this. "Master Yuanle is a great monk. Since he said that, we should take it into account."
"That's right." Madam Lu nodded. "Since it concerns Ruoruo's life, we'd better believe it. I just want to trouble Madam to pass on a message to the Cai family, and ask them to make other plans for Mr. Cai as soon as possible, so as not to delay Mr. Cai's marriage."
"Just leave this matter to me."
Lu readily agreed and even visited the Cai family that afternoon, hinting at the idea in various ways.
Madam Cai was a smart person, so she quickly understood what Lu meant and nodded repeatedly, "Madam He is always getting to know all the ladies, and she is also very warm-hearted. Please help my son pay more attention to him in the future."
"No problem, no problem." Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes and smiled.
As for marriage, there are many cases where people have the intention but it doesn't work out in the end. It is very common. The most taboo thing is that the marriage fails and the couple ends up becoming enemies.
Mrs. Cai understood everything, and Mrs. Lu was also pleased that Mrs. Cai did her job properly.
All in all, the matter has been settled for the time being.
Su Yunruo was completely relieved about this.
"I just made a pair of shoes for you. Can you try them on to see if they fit you?"
"Sister Jin, I made a new purse and put peach blossom petals, which you like, in it. Sister Jin, come and smell it. Is it fragrant?"
"Yes, yes, the weather is getting colder, and I just got two pieces of excellent fur. I made warm sleeves for mother and sister Jin. They will be warm in winter."
"But this thing is not made in vain. Sister Xidejin will give me a spicy hot pot in exchange. How about that?"
Seeing Su Yunruo's face full of playful smiles, Su Yujin tapped her forehead and agreed, "Okay, considering your hard work, how about two meals, plus a spicy hot pot."
"Really? That's great!" Su Yunruo was overjoyed. "Since Sister Jin is so generous, I can't be stingy and make another handkerchief for Sister Jin."
As she spoke, Su Yunruo was about to go into the house to look for a blank handkerchief and a needle and thread basket.
That joyful look on his face really looked like a bird returning in spring, full of vitality.
This is in stark contrast to his serious demeanor of recent days.
Seeing this, Lu smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It seems that I was right to listen to Master Yuanle's words at the beginning."
Su Yujin also nodded, "Yes."
"I just promised Ruoruo that we would have spicy hotpot tonight. I asked Ai Cao to prepare the food. Can uncle come back tonight? If so, I will prepare more."
A few days ago, Su Wenxuan said he had a batch of goods to look at and went out. He probably mentioned the date of his return, which was today.
"He hasn't sent anyone back to deliver the message yet, so he probably won't be back today." Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, "We don't have to wait for him, let's talk about it after he comes back."
Su Shaoyuan is the most cautious in his daily work.
The time he estimated was usually accurate, within half a day. If he could not return at the previously agreed time, he would definitely send someone back to deliver a letter.
But today...
Lu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But when I thought about how serious this matter was and how I couldn't get away, or even how it was inconvenient to send someone back, I felt that I was thinking too much.
Su Yujin didn't think much about it, just nodded in agreement, and then went with Ai Cao to prepare the ingredients for the spicy hotpot in the evening.
When the spicy hotpot was served on the table, Lu Heng, the servant beside Su Shaoyuan, came back.
Covered in blood.
I received a notice today that I will be going on a business trip anytime in the next two days, and the earliest may be tomorrow. If the author really has to go on a business trip... I may not be able to guarantee two updates every day. The author will try to find time to write a chapter every day. If I really can't write, I will explain the situation... In short, the author will try his best to write, but it is really difficult to be a worker. If there is any accident, I hope you will forgive me...
